The UTRGV Vaqueros stellar win over the McNeese Cowboys last Saturday has earned the team some serious conference recognition.

UTRGV quarterback Aidan Jakobsohn was named Southland Conference Offensive Player of the Week and linebacker Jaiden Haygood was named SLC Defensive Player of the Week.

Jakobsohn passed for one touchdown and rushed for two more in the Vaqueros win after entering the game for starter Garret Rangel who had to exit midway though the first quarter.

Haygood finished with 13 tackles, two tackles for a loss, and the game-sealing interception in the fourth quarter.

The Vaqueros will have no game this coming Saturday as they enter an open week and will play against East Texas A&M when they return to conference play on October 3rd.
